Microwave Peanut Brittle With Coconut and Rum image

Memories of dime store brittle with ribbons of coconut inspired me to try my own. The vanilla scent of Meyers Rum brought that addition. Basic peanut brittle with a great scent! These directions are for a 1650 watt microwave! Adjust time to get a nice brown brittle.
